However, the parents must do the hunting, returning home as devoted providers with dinner.
In fact, the presence of pups alone is a happy development.
Gray wolves were once on the brink of extinction due to being hunted as pests.
In 1995, the wolves werereintroducedto the Yellowstone area.
The program has been a success and the individuals now number above 100.
Gray wolves have also been reintroduced in Michigan and soon will be inColorado.
